Screwless drip watering system

Abstract

A drip irrigation system for irrigating one or more zones and/or areas. The irrigation system comprises a waterline and one or more drip watering devices. The one or more drip watering devices are able to fit around and attach to a wire, a frame, a post a hook, a vertical pole and/or a horizontal pole quickly and easily without the use of screws or other tools. In some embodiments, the one or more watering devices comprise a u-shaped recess that is configured to accept one or more hanging pots and/or baskets. Coupling the one or more hanging pots and/or baskets with the one or more watering devices opens the valve to drip irrigate the hanging pots and/or baskets through one or more drip lines.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A drip watering system comprising:
 a. one or more waterlines; and   b. a watering device coupled to the one or more waterlines, the watering device comprising:
 i. a first section; 
 ii. a second section, wherein the first section screwlessly connects to the second section to secure the watering device to an additional object, and 
 iii. one or more valves configured to open and deliver water to an area when weight is added to the watering device. 
   
     
     
         2 . The drip watering system of  claim 1 , wherein the first section snap fits to the second section to secure the watering device to an additional object. 
     
     
         3 . The drip watering system of  claim 1 , wherein the watering area comprises one or more hanging pots and/or hanging baskets. 
     
     
         4 . The drip watering system of  claim 3 , wherein the watering device comprises a u-shaped recess that is configured to accept one or more hanging pots and/or baskets. 
     
     
         5 . The drip watering system of  claim 1 , comprising one or more additional watering devices. 
     
     
         6 . The drip watering system of  claim 5 , wherein the watering device and the one or more additional watering devices are coupled to the same waterline. 
     
     
         7 . The drip watering system of  claim 5 , wherein the watering device and the one or more additional watering devices are coupled to a different waterline. 
     
     
         8 . The drip watering system of  claim 5 , wherein the watering device and the one or more additional watering devices independently water a different area. 
     
     
         9 . The drip watering system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more waterlines comprise a ¼-inch drip line. 
     
     
         10 . The drip watering system of  claim 1 , wherein the watering system is grouped into multiple zones. 
     
     
         11 . The drip watering system of  claim 1  further comprising a timer for starting and stopping the watering system at a predetermined time. 
     
     
         12 . A drip watering device comprising:
 a. a first section;   b. a second section, wherein the first section screwlessly connects to the second section to secure the watering device to an additional object, and   c. one or more valves configured to open and deliver water to an area when weight is added to the watering device.   
     
     
         13 . The drip watering device of  claim 12 , wherein the first section snap fits to the second section to secure the watering device to an additional object. 
     
     
         14 . The drip watering device of  claim 12 , wherein the watering area comprises one or more hanging pots and/or hanging baskets. 
     
     
         15 . The drip watering device of  claim 12 , wherein the watering device comprises a u-shaped recess that is configured to accept one or more hanging pots and/or baskets. 
     
     
         16 . The drip watering device of  claim 12 , wherein the watering device is coupled to a waterline. 
     
     
         17 . The drip watering device of  claim 15 , wherein the additional object comprises one of a frame, a post, a hook, a vertical pole, and a horizontal pole. 
     
     
         18 . A method of drip watering comprising:
 a. fitting one or more drip watering devices to a water line, wherein a first section of a drip watering device screwlessly connects to a second section of the drip watering device to secure the watering device to an additional object, and fit the one or more drip watering devices with a waterline;   b. coupling one or more plants are coupled to the one or more drip watering devices; and   c. supplying water to the one or more plants.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more plants comprise one or more hanging pots. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more hanging pots are configured to hang on a u-shaped recess of the one or more watering devices. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more watering devices are grouped into multiple zones. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising operating a timer for starting and stopping watering at a predetermined time.
